Dry orgasm, or orgasmic anejaculation, means that orgasm occurs without ejaculation, so the penis does not release semen as usual.
There are several possible causes of a dry orgasm. Some are temporary, but others may be long-lasting or even permanent.
Dry orgasms themselves are not a health concern, but the underlying issue may require treatment in some cases. Dry orgasms can take a mental toll if a person feels embarrassed to discuss the issue with a partner. They may also affect a person’s ability to have children.
Treatment is available for some causes of dry orgasm, so it is best to see a doctor for a diagnosis.
One common cause of a dry orgasm is having repeated orgasms.
Having multiple orgasms in a short period may cause a dry orgasm. It takes time for the body to replenish its semen stores, and having numerous orgasms can deplete these stores. This issue is not typically a cause for concern.
Some people regenerate semen faster than others, but the body should start producing more semen after a few hours of rest.
Genetic abnormalities
Some people do not produce enough semen to ejaculate, which may be due to a genetic abnormality.
If this is the case, there is nothing wrong with the person’s health.
Testosterone deficiency
Low testosterone levels may also contribute to reduced ejaculation, particularly as a person gets older, and their testosterone levels decline. It can also occur in people with hormonal imbalances.

Blockages
Some dry orgasm issues may also stem from blockages in the urethra or ejaculatory duct, which is the small tube through which the semen travels during ejaculation.
A cyst may grow within these ducts, or sperm may become trapped and fail to leave the body.
Nerve damage
Nerve damage may also lead to issues with ejaculation. Nerve damage may occur as a result of an accident that causes spinal injury or as a complication of another condition, such as cancer, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis.
Surgical treatment in a part of the body close to the penis may also cause dry orgasm.
A person who undergoes the removal of their prostate, bladder, or lymph nodes may no longer produce semen or ejaculate. These surgeries may affect the muscles or nerves that play a role in ejaculation.
For example, surgeries for prostate cancer that remove the prostate or seminal vesicles will result in permanent dry orgasm. As the American Cancer Society note, the testicles will still make sperm cells, but the body will reabsorb them rather than producing semen.
This reabsorption does not harm the body or lead to any complications other than dry orgasm.
Surgical procedures and other medical treatments that may affect ejaculation and lead to dry orgasm include:
cystectomy
prostatectomy
open prostatectomy
laser prostate surgery
lymph node dissection
transurethral resection of the prostate, or TURP
transurethral incision of the prostate, or TUIP
transurethral microwave therapy, or TUMT
radiation therapy
